Step by step solution

01

Oxymercuration-Demercuration procedure

Oxymercuration in an electrophilic addition reaction in whichto an alkene, when alkene is treated with Hg(OAc)2.This intermediate organomercury compound is further treated with and the last step involves the demercuration to form an alcohol.

02

The product obtained from oxymercuration-demercuration of alkene

b) In this alkene, oxymercuration results in the Markovnikov addition of to an alkene. Here, the OH is added to that carbon which is more substituted, and H is added to that carbon which is less substituted.
